MIAMI – The academic accolades for FIU Athletics continued on Tuesday as eight Panthers’ programs registered perfect yearly APR scores and four had perfect four-year marks, as released in the NCAA’s annual Academic Progress Rate (APR) Report.
FIU’s eight programs with perfect single-year APR scores of 1,000 from the 2023-24 academic year:
- Women’s Basketball
- Men’s Cross Country
- Women’s Cross Country
- Softball
- Soccer
- Swimming & Diving
- Tennis
- Volleyball
FIU’s four programs with perfect four-year APR scores of 1,000 from the 2020-24 academic years:
- Men’s Cross Country
- Women’s Cross Country
- Swimming & Diving
- Tennis
Furthermore, tennis – the reigning three-time Conference USA Champions – has now posted a perfect APR score for five-straight years.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic performance.
FIU had all 16 of its teams (for the purpose of the APR report, women’s indoor and outdoor track & field is combined into one team) post well above the NCAA-required multi-year score of 930, and 10 were at 985 or higher.
Each academic year, every Division-I team across the country calculates its APR using a simple and consistent formula. Each term, scholarship student-athletes can earn one (1) point for remaining eligible and one (1) point for staying in school or graduating.
The Academic Performance Program has established an essential framework for academic excellence. The program provides measurable goals to ensure schools are fulfilling their commitment of equipping student-athletes with the tools and resources necessary to achieve academic success.
